Description
This talk provides a brief summary and context for Women Who Dare, a recorded live lecture as part of a series of women’s lecture topics at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. It is based on findings of the class Women in the Performing Arts. The speaker is Sarah Meredith, Music and Women’s and Gender Studies, UW-Green Bay:
I give the profiles of 4 outstanding international women performing artists from different genres of the performing arts including Hildegard von Bingen, Clara Schumann, Isadora Duncan, and Marian Anderson. I then discuss the factors which constrain and further women’s creativity and the patterns and obstacles that exist in the lives of women performing artists from genres of dance, conducting, singers, actresses, filmmakers, etc. The talk ends with a live performance and talk with Jiebing Chen, Chinese erhu player, and the first woman to play this instrument with an international orchestra. This lecture was recorded for Wisconsin Public Television and has been shown several times on University Place. The most recent showing was at the Music Academy, Bydgoszcz, Poland, in where I was teaching in May of 2019.
